Well played NZ. Really hope you go and win it now because you deserve to having lost in the Test and 50 over finals. And for being such great sports.4

Congrats to New Zealand who win with six balls to spare.
17th over - 23
18th over - 14
19th over - 20
57 runs from 18 balls.
Not good enough.0 -
Well, we cocked that up.3
-
Well done NZ, go and smash it in the final
A bad couple of days for Captain Morgans...1 -
Well played New Zealand, felt like we left a few out there when we batted, thought we may get away with it but unfortunately not.
Hope NZ go on to win.0 -
Absolutely gutted. Too placid with the batting in the middle overs and bottled it at the end. 4 years of planning wasted.3

On a pitch offering turn, new left-hander in, Livingstone just worked miracles, Moeen needs to bowl that 16th over1
-
True but we were still a good twenty short anyway. If we’d have scored 180+ Then I think will would have defended it .Briston_Addick said:Two of the worst overs bowled by England in the tournament has handed the Kiwis a final spot.If we had to lose to anyone I’m glad it’s New Zealand0 -
He was too slow. Used up overs.Callumcafc said:
Madness. He had the highest strike rate of anyone to face more than 2 overs of bowling.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
How on earth are you blaming Moeen ffs?!golfaddick said:So glad we left Morgan, Billings & Woakes on the bench and we happy to let Moeen knock it around.
166 was not a bad score on this pitch, bad bowling at the end has thrown it away.
They say you should use all your allocated overs when you are 8 or 9 down.....but we were only 4 down at the end. Could have been more aggressive.1 -
Ah, the Blame Moeen crusade begins1

We were 1/14 before that Jordon over2
-
That complete pants over by Jordan was the real turning point. 😲0
-
Why didn't Ali bowl. A real mystery.1
-
Neesham eats pace for breakfast. He was just in, at least it should have been Rashid that over and not the 17th1
-
Well played New Zealand thourghly deserved.
But our bowling in the death overs was shocking4 -
What a super Colemanball, "They kept zooming into your old fella".2

Vintage tms just now, aggers: “always deflating when you lose a semi”9

I still think as @Addick Addict has said throughout the tournament. If we had won the toss and batted second we would have won the match2

Toss won the game really batting 2nd is just a massive advantage.
Great game of cricket. The problem is that with Mills and Archer injured we only have Jordan as a specialist death bowler so if he has a bad day (and he really did) we are screwed because we are expecting the other end to go for a few.
Topley for Wood (as I suggested before the game) might have helped this.

I was not. Too many batsmen and not enough quicks.cantersaddick said:All the talk seems to be Billings vs Willey depending on the pitch. Porbably fair enough given the others are all in possession but I would have Billings in anyway and the question should be Malan vs Willey. The other consideration of course is that its our death bowling that has struggled without Mills/Archer so perhaps Topley for Wood?
Perhaps I'm over thinking this.
Willey for Malan and Topley for Wood and we win that.1 -
Overall though to get tot he semis when missing Stokes, Archer, Mills Curran, Roy, Hales is probably a fair result.1
-
A classic game where we had to win the toss. As we didn't, New Zealand having so many opportunities missing fielders didn't help.1
-
I knew it would be tight and wasn't overly confident batting first.
But I thought we'd got enough runs to win the game, probably by 10 or a few less.
I wasn't accounting for Jordan completely losing control and losing the game in one over.1 -
If it was the other way around we would be praising the batsmen who smashed those runs at the end - we wouldn’t be saying the Kiwis threw it away.Jordan got spanked and it totally freed up the next two overs to have a swing without so much pressure.It happens, no amount of planning can legislate for such an over. Ben Stokes can vouch for that.1

Too much in cricket can rely on winning the toss. Can think back to lots of series where it has had too big an impact such as previous Ashes. I think they need to do something to even things up - though not sure how it would work in a tournamentGary Poole said:I still think as @Addick Addict has said throughout the tournament.

No hindsight from me. I do believe that I made the point a number of times in the summer when we were chasing tiny totals against Sri Lanka that we needed to bat first. As they say, if you do what you've always done, sometimes you might not be able to!

EVERYONE knows that under Morgan, England love to chase and are bloody good at it. Therefore, with the 50/50 nature of the coin toss, any sensible team will make England bat first.2 -
I agree, but in a test series it is more likely to even itself out than in a one off knockout match. Excepting of course that we have had some useless tossers as captains in the past.PrincessFiona said:

Not that I begrudge New Zealand the win, they were pretty unlucky against us in the 50 over tournament.3
